That's the whole point of it: the fibres are so fine they close over behind the needle, so you get a smooth, even surface instead of the pitted, pock-marked finish you get topping off with a coarser wool. For faces, this is the difference between a doll that looks finished and one that looks stabbed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcacia is a pale, warm peach with no pink harshness — our go-to for anything that needs to read as skin: faces, hands, ears, little bare feet, inner ears on animals, and the blush on a peach or a mushroom cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant — use a fine needle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine wool needs a fine needle.

A 36 or 38 will push through and leave visible holes, no matter how good the wool is.
